Make Love The Bruce Campbell Way

The always-hilarious character actor Bruce Campbell, star of the EVIL DEAD films and BUBBA HO-TEP, and author of the memoir IF CHINS COULD KILL, turns to fiction this time out. However, the protagonist is, once again, himself, this time in an outrageously over-the-top adventure that never happened...although perhaps it should have. Bruce's editor convinces him to write a book on relationships, even though Bruce isn't particularly skilled at romances that don't occur on the big or small screen. Meanwhile, Bruce manages to win a supporting role in LET'S MAKE LOVE!, a major romantic comedy film with Renee Zellweger and Richard Gere. The role dovetails neatly with the proposed book, as he plays a doorman who dispenses advice on love. Bruce's zeal to get his part exactly right results in several minor catastrophes, including a spot on the terrorist watch list and a challenge to a duel by the Richmond Gentlemen's Society. Meanwhile, someone is clearly trying to sabotage Bruce and his part in the movie. Illustrated with humorous black-and-white photographs.

Publisher Notes
An autobiographical novel by the popular B-movie actor and author of If Chins Could Kill follows his imagined efforts to debut on the "A" list by starring in a big-budget film with high-profile stars, an endeavor he attempts to legitimize by attending a crash course in method acting.
Media Reviews
"Satire and sharp one-liners are the engines powering low-budget movie hero Campbell's first autobiographical novel, a funny, breezy, high-camp affair....Campbell knows of what he writes, and this endless barrage of extreme silliness obviously spoofs (and quite possibly mirrors) a frenzied acting career made up of equal parts exasperation and hilarity."
First Line
I read the e-mail out loud and wrinkled my nose when I got to the 'another book of this type' part.
